Double Overtime
Field or Control |

Maximum Times per Week |
Specify the maximum number of days in a week that the overtime is going to be paid as double. For any amount above this parameter, overtime will be paid as triple. |
Maximum Hours per Day |
Specify the maximum number of hours in a day that will be paid as double. For any amount above this parameter, overtime will be paid as triple. |
Maximum Hours per Week |
Specify the maximum hours in a week that the overtime will be paid double. For any number of hours per week above this, overtime will be paid as triple. This parameter should always be 9 since it's legally defined. |
Non Taxable Hours per Day |
Specify the number of hours in a day that double overtime is non-taxable. The system counts any double-overtime hours in excess of this value for a given day as taxable. When you enter overtime, the system calculates the non-taxable hours and displays the results in the Double Hours and Double Hours Total fields on the pages of the Enter Overtime MEX component. |
In Excess Hrs. per Day (in excess hours per day) |
Define how the system should calculate overtime hours that fall between three hours a day and three days a week and the first nine hours. Values are Double and Triple. Note: These four parameters are taken into consideration when you enter overtime data in order to split the double and triple overtime. Depending on the value in the In Excess Hrs. per Day field, the system may override the value for the TE VR FACTEX variable at the pay group level. This variable is used during payroll calculation in order to determine whether the In Excess Hours are going to be paid at a double rate or triple rate for overtime. |
